“Insulaion is
In his inimitable style the former American President puts in a nutshell what industry associations and energy agencies have been saying for years.
Technical insulation materials are sexy, because they
• save energy,
• save money,
• protect the climate,
• enhance living comfort,
• reduce dependency on energy imports,
• minimize safety hazards for employees,
• keep industrial processes running,
• protect investments by making a long-term contribution to the value retention of technical
equipment and
• they have an unbeatably short payback period.
Technical insulation materials may not be able to save the world, but they do make a valuable contribution to optimizing energy efficiency in buildings and in industry. There are many possi- bilities for saving energy. Stemming losses where they occur – that is everywhere where the valu- able resource is lost through transport – is by far the simplest, fastest and most cost-efficient way. While accounting for just 1 % of the total costs of the technical equipment on average, insulation materials ensure higher performance, a longer service life and higher efficiency. Sexy!
sexy stuf.” Barack Obama, 44th US President
